Velbon UT-43D II Tripod w/QHD 43D

RM 599.00

This amazing tripod is an evolution of Velbon's exciting new breed of travel tripods. The Ultrek UT-43D II is extraordinarily compact when folded, yet thanks to the ingenious 6-section reverse-folding legs, it can be extended to become a practical full-height tripod as well as a low-level macro platform. New innovations include a 2-section telescopic centre column and 6-section legs that fold by reversing through a full 180 degrees. This allows the maximum extended height to become 5.7 times the folded length! The UT-43D II tripod is the ideal travel solution as it packs small enough to fit into most bags and cases. It comes complete with Velbon's QHD-43D Ball & Socket head, which includes a DIN standard quick-release platform for easy attachment to your camera. A soft carrying case is also included.

Description

The Velbon UT 43D II Aluminum Travel Tripod with Ball Head features a remarkable ratio of a maximum height of 61.2″ to a folded length of 11.3″, making it an excellent choice for backpackers and other travelers who need a lightweight and compact yet highly functional camera support.

That ratio is a result of several factors: the two-section center column, the six sections of the aluminum legs, the fact that each leg section disappears completely inside the one above, and the 180° folding of the legs, by which the feet line up perfectly with the top of the included QHD-43D ball head. Together the head and the UT 43D II tripod weigh just 2.5 lb.
